I can reproduce the bug if we use appendStylesheetNode.  First a minor
note: the following ois incorrect

  <xsl:strip-space elements='//*'/>

The xsl:strip-space elements argument is not just an XPath expression
but a space-delimited list of Nametests.  This means "*", "ns:*",
"ns:foo" and only in this form.  What you wanted was probably

  <xsl:strip-space elements='*'/>

We should do better error-checking there.

The problem was in converting 4DOM to the special Stylesheet DOM.  It's
fixed.

Yes, as you point out in your next message.  We meant to put it back in
before release.  Done now.
